FOREWORDS

In our country - I mean Venezuela - the recorder has been always seen “for school purpose

only” and rarely has been used such a real musical instrument so no one would ever dared torecord a C.D. playing music with this instrument and the truth is that it really demands a

serious technique to master it well, but in our country no one cares about it.

In my little hometown live a swiss family whose member play the recorder and they have

showed me a lot about the swiss culture so I’m aware that in Switzerland the reality is

different from ours and there you really care about developing skills in the playing of recorder

using thoughtful techniques. That’s why I made this songbook; to share it with you all and I

hope you really like it and enjoy it playing it whole thru. If you do it, I’ll feel that there’s no

frontier that the recorder cannot cross bringing and carrying melodies from all over the world

in fact.

Each one of these compositions has been selected from the traditional Venezuelanmelodies and rhythms for its musical and technical value. Some of them were, adapted or

arranged by me to be played on Alt-Recorder as a soloist but some others were only transcript

from the original for the same purpose.

Some of the pieces were originally composed to be played on other instrument such as

transversal flute solo; that is the case of “ Solo de Pajarillo”, ”Sola” by the maestro Omar

Acosta and his arrange of the Cuban Son of Ernesto Lecuona “ La Comparsa” . Here I only

make a free version of these arranges trying to keep its virtuosic musical challenges, although

the originals have further virtuosic demands. I even dared to make free versions of two pieces

which are truly Venezuelan classical guitar masterpieces “El Marabino and Vals Venezolano Nº

3 “Natalia” ; both of them by Antonio Lauro. Actually, bearing in mind that the recorder is only

a melodic instrument, the second one requires a thoughtful approach and keen sense of timing

and expression to capture the dramatic shadings of the melodies and accompaniments at the

same time, turning the recorder into a “harmonic” instrument during its performance.

The other pieces included in this notebook are merely transcriptions of folkloric melodies,

some are not technically virtuosic works but others have full range of tone colors and dynamic

possibilities so they demand special care.
